Congrats PB. Lovely looking baby.


Heeeraldo - I'm not sure the first link goes where you think it goes.

sk4n: it goes to pb's profile... where did you think I wanted it to go?
posted by heeeraldo at 11:31 AM on September 10, 2007

Weird. It does now. When I clicked it before (on 2 separate computers - I'm a nerd) it seemed to point back to this page.

Anyway, sorry about that. Back to cooing at the lovely baby!

Is it common practice to stalk MeFites and make posts about things going on in their lives? Now, I'm not complaining but there's a couple of threads TODAY about that on the grey/gray.

I think it's safe to say that unless your usernumber is in double-digits or below, you'd get a lot of flak for it.

Well, there's a thread about something else where someone mentioned it, and then there's this one.

Also, there's this happy precedent.

Congrats, Paul.

It's not stalking if it's a repost of something the Mefite posted on their own site. Now, if this post started off, "I was peeking into pb's family's hospital room, and the baby was finally born! Thank goodness, I've been here for hours and this bush is really scratching me up..."

the other thread was starting to derail due to jess' announcement of pb's baby so I thought it best to make a new thread.
posted by heeeraldo at 12:29 PM on September 10, 2007

pb's kid should be named jelly, or just "J"

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone! I've been tuning into the parenting tag at Ask MeFi for a while now, so I should be set.
